Quote:I believe he is thinking about the more modern frangibles. They make a round where the bullet is actually compressed metal particles (think sand). It will damage tissue, but pretty much falls apart if it hits anything more solid than a human body. Neat stuff, but I think heavy clothing (or enough layers) might be enought to defeat this type of round.

They also make lower velocity rounds, specifically for use on airplanes to minimize the risk of over-penetration. I seriously doubt that the air marshalls are packing Federal Hydrashoks in their duty weapons........

As I said, that is exactly what Glasers are. The company that made them in 1974 is still around and improving the rounds consistenly. Google Glaser rounds sometime, you'll find that the company still exists and still is producing and redefining the ammunition.

Einstein said Everything is Relative.
Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
